Falls Lake

Made for Falls Lake Weekends

Falls Lake sits right between North Raleigh, Wake Forest and Durham, and it sees every kind of boat.

Hot summer decks, wet carpet that never dries and slick surfaces with kids and dogs on board are the usual complaints. A custom EVA foam deck fixes all three: it stays cooler in the sun, grips wet or dry and rinses clean.

We come to your home, storage lot or lake access to template the boat, CNC-cut every piece and install it. Bass boats get quiet casting decks with fish rulers, and family boats get cushioned floors and swim platform pads.

Questions

Falls Lake Foam Decking FAQ

Do you install for boats kept at Falls Lake?

Yes. We template and install at your home, storage lot or wherever the boat is kept around Falls Lake, North Raleigh, Wake Forest and Durham.

Is foam decking good for bass boats?

Yes. Foam quiets footsteps and dropped gear, grips wet or dry and adds comfort on the casting deck. Many anglers add a fish ruler cut right into the pad.

How much does it cost?

It depends on your boat’s size, the areas you cover and the design. Most full-deck projects average $3,000 to $4,000, and smaller jobs like cooler or helm pads cost much less.
